I have all these already except 4 lol 😅 I wouldn't necessarily agree with some on list based on the entire performance of some of the fragrances from opening to drydown but to each their own 🙂
I am so grateful for your presence on the fragrance scene. Your tastes and style of perfumery happen to align perfectly with my own, but you have so much more technical knowledge of the craft than I do, so you constantly educate me about the components of the fragrances I love. THANK YOU!!!
Really appreciate you doing these... more different videos, Aaron. As for the scents: I have Naxos, have Alexandria II. I actually bought these based off the suggestions of both you and Demi Rawling, tried them originally because of you both and ended up buying them. I didn't like Side Effect because of the hedione, gives it that bitter odor. I like original Interlude, haven't tried Black Iris. I have Herod, I have Oajan, I got standard Layton, Exclusif is a bit much for me. If I had to recommend 4 to a man that to start a collection and we're keeping the selections somewhat safe: Layton or Cedrat Boise (fruity take on Aventus) as an all-year, Alexandria II as a showstopper formal scent, Naxos or Blessed Baraka as date night, and Herod for the cold. If you wanted to do seasonally, I would do Herod - winter, Layton - spring, Percival/Sedley - summer, Naxos - autumn.
Aaron. Thank you. Thank you for mentioning Oajan. The first niche that I love. And actually even until today, it is still my second most favorite fragrances in my heart. Can’t go anywhere special without it. Can’t wait for you to upload your re-review on Oajan. 🦄💜
I love your beautiful, poetic descriptions & (frankly) amazing storytelling of a fragrance. In my short perfume collecting journey, from this list, I've only managed to pick up Herod but it's honestly the perfume version of "the love of my life". I also picked up a couple other gorgeous perfumes (namely Eau Sauvage Parfum 2017 & Terre D'Hermes Parfum) but I do hope to get my nose on a couple of the others on this list. Thank you 🙏
Initio is such a good house! You really should do as many as you can. Forbidden could easily slot into the work that house does and that smells incredible! Love your work ☺️
i know this video is more than a year old but i love to see Dior Tobacolor getting some love. I get asked about it every time i wear it. it smells good in all of its stages and it lasts 8+ hours on skin and forever on clothes
I loved this review. The three colognes that I wear primarily today are Xerjoffs Tomi lommi, Amouge reflections, and Thom Fords Oud Wood. I think that the deeper I delve into this space the more I realize that naturals are the way to go. Keep doing what your doing , your awesome.
I love watching your review of fragrances. I am not a perfumer but do enjoy nice smell on my skin. Your voice is deep and calming combining your knowledge of perfume, I have learned a lot, not to mention the beauty of perfume and your videos are calming and blocking out all the noise from our chaotic world.
As always, love your videos and reviews, they are as artful as they are informative. Always great to see a master so genuinely passionate and knowledgeable about his work!
Would love to hear how you got into perfumery and starting crafting your own. As someone without a chemistry background I feel it would be awesome to hear.
Hello Aaron! Curious..what's your signature scent? Also which women's fragrance you do find most attractive if any. I've yet to find my signature scent. I find i get bored right away, could it be my ADD or these hyped fragrances just aren't IT 🤔🤷 As always thank you for your great reviews, I find them so informative and so very relaxing 🤍🦄
@@Jmillz4life in the winter yes. But i ware legend or guapo over Carbon. But I also love haze blue over haze black🦄 Working with Oud a lot I dont want to ware it on my day off.
I have Naxos, Noir Extreme, and Herod. I do love Oajan and starting to test out side effect. Only worry I have is that all these fragrances are very gourmand which is my favorite but I live in Texas so I need something very fresh to cut through the heat.
I live in Houston and have been wearing freshies like Sauvage, Dylan Blue, BDC, Egoiste Platinum, etc., and a friend sent a decant of Louis Vuitton L'Immensite. This, for me, was a gamechanger, showstopper, grandslam! It has become my signature scent for all occasions and all weather conditions. The most versatile frag ever concocted. I pulled the trigger and bought 2x 200ml bottles because they didn't have a 400ml and I could get 2 for double the price. I've began selling off my collection of fragrances (approximately 135) because I don't need them now that I found the LV. It's truly that great, IMO. If you haven't tried it, order a 0.2ml from LV (around $6.00??) Or find a place that sells it and go test it. The performance is astounding.
I'm in love with Initio Side Effect... I feel like in the world of nichè perfumery there is a lot of over priced fragrances out there... whilst this one is expensive, imo it's worth the price tag... it smells luxurious
Hi Aaron. In case you were unaware, Initio and Parfums De Marley are owned by the same company. PdM is one of my favorite Houses, along with Dior and Prada.
Great video ATH! I like this "quick fire" style instead of dragging it out like the other cologne vloggers. Really enjoyed this and the way you can speak quickly them demonstrates your mastery of perfumery.
This is an absolutely great list. I have these frags for a reason, (including a clone of the Boadicea) My all time favorite date night frag is TF Noir Extreme, assuming I want to close the deal. All of these frags are absolutely enjoyable!
Love the reviews as usual. I agree with side effect, naxos, Ombre leather. For PDM i only like carlisle and herod. I think tuxedo belongs on the list. And also LV afternoon swim or imagination is great for summer.
Oajan is a masterpiece, but for many (including yours truely) it gives a burning sensation and induces headaches. I only smell it from the sample to enjoy this gem without the side effects. You omitted Carlisle. It's better than Harod imho.
I am a TF fan, but I had a bad experience with Ombre Leather Perfume : on my skin, it was absolute disaster, hate it!! However, the edp is kinda my signature sent 🙄, totally addict. Don't know why the perfume doesn't work for me 🤷♂️. Thanx for your review Aaron 🙏
Can u please do one for fresh summertime fragrances? I think this video is a great round up of sweet fresh gourmand fragrances but I’d love ur lighter recommendations going into summer too
Love your work both in perfumery and as a reviewer. I wish I knew half as much as you so the channel I've just started could be as informative as yours 😊
Love your channel, you have a unique style of presentation that is both captivating and informative. And I love the way you use your hands to express your thoughts
Great list! I have 4 of the fragrances you listed. I’ve been planning on getting Oajan next. I’m really intrigued by the cinnamon/apple pie aspect of it. I love me a good gourmand-y fragrance!
If you want a truly "beast-mode", loud, high quality gourmand cinnamon "apple pie" perfume, you'll almost certainly enjoy Oajan. I have it, and wear it heavily in Oct/Nov. Angels' Share by Kilian is in the same vein, but removes the resins, and subs out the pastry-like note for oak, and replaces the osmanthus in top for a GORGEOUS cognac note. Extremely different perfumes (despite what anyone says about similarities, their only connection is sweet and cinnamon), but hands down, the two best cinnamon/"apple pie-style" perfumes on the market. I wear Oajan casually, and Angels' Share formally/dates/sex. Can't go wrong sampling either if you love that style.
@@awkwardme5375 Sweet! Funny I actually was going to buy Angels' Share a few weeks ago but it was sold out literally EVERYWHERE, so I took that as a sign that maybe I had enough fragrances for the time being. LOL A friend of mine let me smell that one and it is indeed a GORGEOUS scent!
Great video yet again Aaron. Would love to see a similar video on your own fragrances. Very curious to see which of your own creations would rank the highest.
Was wondering Aaron...What makes a fragrance last longer? Is it the notes? I lve noticed some of my edts last 2 or 3 hours longer on my skin compared to my other stronger concentrations...love to hear any explainaitions thanks
I just got into this hobby and have never really watched your channel yet. The first bottles I grabbed after some samples were Layton Exclusif, Herod, interlude Black Iris and Oud for greatness. Also I tracked down the older lower alcohol versions of these and compared to the samples they do last longer. Seeing 3 of those on ur list makes me feel like I can really trust ur sense of smell, some of the other popular reviewers recommend stuff and I try them and I'm like these smell so average. Thanks for the content.
Love this list. I already got Side Effect & others from Initio, various PdM, Naxos. Dior Homme Intense is on my list, and Tom Ford Noir Extreme sounds very interesting... Oh man, you can't have them all...🥺
@@mikey-lym Next question, please. 😅 So difficult to tell. I love them all. Depends on my mood etc. Herod is fantastic, but I wear it primarily for myself. Or for somebody who wants to get closer to me. 😉 Compliment fishing is not so important for me.
Some good picks for sure here. Herod is just must for me in winter same as Amouage Journey Man (not here). Amouage interlude used to be beast and I loved that. Black Iris I didn't enjoy at first as I loved incense in the original which is not here. However some myrrh and olibanum are giving appropriate vibe. Top violet lead and rosemary are just masterpiece. I would just give up bergamot already as it is in to many fragrances. As for Xerjoff it is gr8 house however price is just ridiculous. My favourite ls are Homme and Dhofar. Simply as they are str8 masculine. First one is woods and leather with tones of spices in opening. Just love it. Second is like good old days 80s frags with zazilion of accords. Every time I wear it I got different frag. Still wouldn't get full bottles, regardles amazing materials.
I'm fortunate enough to have a few of these. Naxos is my favorite fragrance in my collection and Side effect is great too. If you can't get Dior Homme Parfum (In my opinion, arguably the best designer fragrance there is) Intense is pretty close to as good. I have both of them and both are great fragrances!
I know you’re not particularly into the usual fragrances that are branded towards summer but do you have one that you think would be particularly good for the warmer months? Just as this video seemed to be recommendations for a whole collection. Love your work.
Great list I've just ordered Tom ford ombre leather yesterday i wasn't sure which one to go for but I've gone for the parfum after seeing your review, wasn't much difference in the price for 100ml of the edp it was £120 and for 100ml of the parfum it was £150 so i went for the highest quality one
You're spot on about Black Iris. Me and my girlfriend smelled it at first and she hated it with a passion, but later in the day she absolutely loved it on me. She was surprised it was the same fragrance!
I have noir extreme and I really like it I also got a decanted 9mil sample of Naxos from scent split and I like it even more than noir extreme and will definitely be picking up a bottle
I got a sample of some PDM fragrances and Oajan is fantastic. Herod is certainly very nice and I love the sweet tobacco notes on it. Aoumage Interlude Black Iris I really cannot stand!
Great list!!! Perfect! If it was my list, i would change only 3 or 4 positions. Maybe that is because i haven't tried some of your list! Tuscan Leather forever!

Great thing about ATH is how he explains his thinking around how the perfumes are made and the ingredients or notes!!! Really awesome
I am so grateful for your presence on the fragrance scene. Your tastes and style of perfumery happen to align perfectly with my own, but you have so much more technical knowledge of the craft than I do, so you constantly educate me about the components of the fragrances I love. THANK YOU!!!
Naxos: winter-summer, day and night. ♥️
its beautiful
I am on the edge of buying it. How is the performance/longevity?

Glad to see Black Iris getting some love, I absolutely love it. Such a unique scent, dirty, smokey but rich and delicious.
I can't believe anyone would dislike Aaron, he's got a great personality and actually respects people.

Your videos are so calming. I love how you describe scents
I visited Xarjoff's store in Milan a few days ago to test some of their fragrances and I can attest that Naxos does stand from the crowd
Alexandria ii is a beautiful, yet masculine scent on me! It feels complex and lasts a long time. It amazes me each time I wear it.
What perfume do you recommand for summer among these one ?
Really enjoy your videos, looking forward to smelling these and picking something new

I love the tan, the clean haircut and the beard 😋
I think you really really need to check out Xerjoff (pronounced Sseerjoff) Ivory route and 40 Knots. I can't wait for your review on those two!!
What happened to Nasomatto Pardon?? Did ATH change his mind? He went crazy for it on his Review.
So happy you still love Side Effect! Have you tried Dior Vanilla Diorama? I love it! 💙🧡💚💜
Hi Aaron! I'm binging your reviews lately. More initio reviews please! Love the house. Bought your Guapo and loved it.
I already have (and adore) Dior Homme Intense & TF Noir Extreme. Been wanting to add Side Effect, Naxos, & Herod to the collection for ages
same here with Herrod
Awesome video, great insight as always. I really enjoy noir extreme, so I’m super chuffed to seeing it getting some love!
I don't know what you changed but this video looks really good visually. Like it's cleaner and more high quality. Great job Aaron
cool list! I'll have to smell some of these. I'm interested most in Tobacolor
Maybe it's the voice, maybe it's the mic, maybe it's both but I love everything about this video
You liked Pardon very much as well would you still recommend or over any of these
love it a great review and a lot of different Colognes that aren't hype cologne.
Some good picks for sure here.
Herod is just must for me in winter same as Amouage Journey Man (not here). Amouage interlude used to be beast and I loved that. Black Iris I didn't enjoy at first as I loved incense in the original which is not here. However some myrrh and olibanum are giving appropriate vibe.

If you can't get Dior Homme Parfum (In my opinion, arguably the best designer fragrance there is) Intense is pretty close to as good. I have both of them and both are great fragrances!
Fantastic reviews as per usual. Wearing Boss Bastard this evening (glorious) and can’t help smelling it while watching this - a benchmark for me.
Thank you
Please try Xerjoff 1861 Renaissance if you like the house
I know you’re not particularly into the usual fragrances that are branded towards summer but do you have one that you think would be particularly good for the warmer months? Just as this video seemed to be recommendations for a whole collection. Love your work.
Good to hear which ones could be unisex. 🦄
Tobacolor is in my top 5, had to grab the 250ml!
You should make these kind of presentation videos of your own line. I'm super interested on your fragrance line 🙏
Always getting it right sir !
What about your Onyx!
Alexandria 2 is my fave from this specific list.
definitely getting all these fragrances you mentioned , I trust your judgement 100% lol
Surprised we didn't see Bleu de Chanel Parfum here after you liked it so much.
Aaron you need to try Widian London and Black Saffron, i think they will suit you well!
Would be nice to get a review of decent budget fragrances also.
I own two of these and can stand behind them, Herod and Noir Extreme.
I'd love to try Tobacolor.
Great list I've just ordered Tom ford ombre leather yesterday i wasn't sure which one to go for but I've gone for the parfum after seeing your review, wasn't much difference in the price for 100ml of the edp it was £120 and for 100ml of the parfum it was £150 so i went for the highest quality one

I have noir extreme and I really like it I also got a decanted 9mil sample of Naxos from scent split and I like it even more than noir extreme and will definitely be picking up a bottle
No doubt he is one of the best. He is a distinguished perfumer. He knows his stuff.
Thank you Aaron for another great video. God bless n stay safe.
you should take some of the best niche Leather, Sweet and Fresh fragrances from different brands and make your own.. That would be cool!
Can't complain with your list all bangers except Boadicea which I have never smelt but I'm sure it's very good too.
I got a sample of some PDM fragrances and Oajan is fantastic. Herod is certainly very nice and I love the sweet tobacco notes on it. Aoumage Interlude Black Iris I really cannot stand!
Great list!!! Perfect! If it was my list, i would change only 3 or 4 positions. Maybe that is because i haven't tried some of your list! Tuscan Leather forever!
